Steve was not only a coach but a role model for me somone who knew what I could do and not what I was projecting. Steve is the one man to have told me that I can do better than that and for that I look up to him. As a coach he was hard at times but in a good way creating success and comedy at the same time. Steve’s presences will be missed but we must let his memory live on as he was a man who beloved in giving and putting other first. RIP Coach Steve your in gods hands now a better place of pure happiness. -Jacob Wescott ✝️️
remembering steves passion for the redsox he kept carpentry shop up date on all redsox news as he read us the herald daily
Steve was a passionate baseball dad & coach. He helped raise three fine young men with his gritty approach to life. We may not have always agreed on some things but, Steve never let that ruin our friendship. He taught me a few things along the way and I am glad to have been his friend. Many real life conversations, plenty of laughs & good times is how I will remember Steve. We talked about Jesus being the Way and I hope that coach Steve is resting in the arms of the Lord. – Shawn ✝️️
I don’t know you I’m so sorry to hear about your husband passing he is now resting in peace may god be with you and your family you are all in my prays always remember the good times you had with him
Steve spent every summer as a child on Nubble Road in York Maine in an old house overlooking the ocean. I, and my two brothers and two sisters, were also lucky enough to reside on the bluff only three houses away. Steve, I think, was outside about 20 hours a day roaming around the bluff, jumping into the ocean and chasing around with my brothers and other kids who spent the summer locked into a very special place. It was with great sadness and shock when we learned of Steve’s passing. I can remember how much he loved baseball, talking proudly about his three sons, and how Steve would take off down Nubble Road in his beloved truck. A recent memory was a trip we took to Fenway Park in August last year to see the Who. It was a beautiful summer night, with 37,000 fans and great rock and roll. Steve not only knew every handicapped parking space within a mile of Fenway, he seemingly knew every usher. We quickly had a very nice, complimentary seat upgrade. My thoughts are with Steve’s family and friends as we share the sadness of his passing.

I’m so sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. I worked with Steve at Boston Children’s Hospital — he always was willing to help and watched out for those of us who were working directly with patients making our work orders a priority!:)
I was just asking about him and learned he had passed nearly a year ago. My deepest sympathies. He talked about his boys often — his pride and joy!!
